  • Mercury Emissions from South Africa's Coal-Fired Power Stations
    Mercury emissions from South Africa’s coal-fired power stations Belinda L. Garnham*1 and Kristy E. Langerman1 1Eskom Holdings SOC Limited, Megawatt Park, 1Maxwell Drive, Sunninghill, Sandton, [email protected], [email protected] Received: 8 August 2016 - Reviewed: 3 October 2016 - Accepted: 2 November 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2410-972X/2016/v26n2a8 Abstract Mercury is a persistent and toxic substance that can be bio-accumulated in the food chain. Natural and anthropogenic sources con- tribute to the mercury emitted in the atmosphere. Eskom’s coal-fired power stations in South Africa contributed just under 93% of the total electricity produced in 2015 (Eskom 2016). Trace amounts of mercury can be found in coal, mostly combined with sulphur, and can be released into the atmosphere upon combustion. Coal-fired electricity generation plants are the highest contributors to mer- cury emissions in South Africa. A major factor affecting the amount of mercury emitted into the atmosphere is the type and efficiency of emission abatement equipment at a power station. Eskom employs particulate emission control technology at all its coal-fired power stations, and new power stations will also have sulphur dioxide abatement technology. A co-beneficial reduction of mercury emissions exists as a result of emission control technology. The amount of mercury emitted from each of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations is calculated, based on the amount of coal burnt and the mercury content in the coal. Emission Reduction Factors (ERF’s) from two sources are taken into consideration to reflect the co-benefit received from the emission control technologies at the stations.

This year, our focus features the energy needs throughout the continent and the opportunities for U.S. exporters and financial institutions in the growing power sector. In order to effectively present these initiatives, the following document has been compiled which provides an overview of several key African markets and their energy requirements. Additionally, a selection of current or proposed power projects in the various countries have been detailed and key contact information listed. The Ex-Im Bank wishes to acknowledge with special appreciation the respective U.S. Missions in Botswana, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Mozambique, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda as well as the Federal Ministry of Energy of the Government of Nigeria for their contributions in preparing the reports.

  • Communication of Progress
    United Nations Global Compact Advanced Communication on Progress September 2015 UN Global Compact – Communication of Progress Letter from the chairperson Our overall strategic direction is aligned with the Strategic Intent Statement determined by the shareholder. This includes the strategic objectives of security and reliability of supply of electricity, business and financial sustainability, reduction of our carbon footprint and environmental impact, alignment with Government’s strategic initiatives and driving industrialisation, transformation of the economy and the procurement landscape. The practice of keeping the lights on at all costs by delaying critical maintenance, other essential refurbishment and replacement of generating equipment has caused an escalation in breakdowns of our Generation plant. A short-term Generation recovery strategy has been developed to reduce unplanned maintenance to below 7 000MW (or approximately 16%) by 2015/16 and to less than 4 000MW (approximately 8.8%) by 2021/22. This drive towards predictability and sustainability aims to achieve plant availability of 80% by 2021/22. The delay in delivering on the new build programme has placed additional pressure on the ageing generating plant at a time when there is little spare capacity to do maintenance. Medupi is only expected to be fully operational by 2019, with six units providing total additional capacity of 4 764MW. The six units at Kusile will provide an extra 4 800MW but they are expected to be fully operational only by 2021. The four units of 1 332MW at Ingula Pumped Storage Scheme are anticipated to be fully operational only by 2017. NERSA’s third multi-year price determination of an 8% annual tariff increase has resulted in significant pressure on our liquidity and going concern status.

Our Specialist Services Division focuses on expanding the business of Rand Water outside of our core business of bulk water supply. During the year under review, Specialist Services undertook the following projects: • Ghana Urban Water Management Contract Client: Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) Budget: US$103million for 5 years Funder: World Bank Project Duration: June 2006 - June 2011 In December 2004, the Government of the Republic of Ghana issued an invitation for a Bids-Management Contract for the provision of services to the urban water sector in that country. This invitation followed a general notice that Ghana had secured USD 103 million from the International Development Association to fi nance the Project. The intent was to apply part of the grant to a Multi-year Management Contract for the provision of services in the urban water sector. For this project which commenced on the 5 June 2006, Rand Water through our then subsidiary Rand Water Services (Pty) Ltd entered into a joint venture agreement with Vitens (Dutch-based company). 47 • Technical Assistance to the Democratic Republic of the Congo Client: Department of Water Affairs Budget: R22 million Funder: African Renaissance Fund Project Duration: 18 Months (from June 2011) Benefi ciary: REGIDESO The Government of South Africa has continued to strengthen its relationship with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
